saw on the new that there's a richter scale 7 earthquake, epicenter 10km below sea level, 3 km off southern tip of taiwan(or something like that; didn't pay much attention). but it finally resolved the mystery of why my internet accessing was so slow when accessing foreign websites: internet cables around that area was damaged. as a result, all of east asia suffered from internet lag. stock markets are in chaos, companies have problems etc. and i thought that my router was acting up again ... cannot access friendster, google, some online forums ... imagine the shock the marine fishes there must have felt during the earthquake
